Elf Lord with Bow

One of the reasons for creating this blog was so I could show (Martin at least) my minatures I’ve painted recently.

This is my latest Warhammer Fantasy figure.  Amber bought it amongst other things as a wedding anniversary present.  I’ve always liked the model.  It’s essentially painted exactly like the GW version, though sadly with a little less skill.  In fact I was so dismissive of it in it’s completed form that I decided that I was not going to paint fantasy again until I got some new good quality brushes, brush care material, flow improver, improved my technique (or at least stopped being so lazy) etc etc.  Essentially it was painted with a fishtailing synthetic size 0 brush, which though adequate has not produced a finish I’m proud of.  So in the meantime whilst I restock on essential art supplies I’m painting FOW Fallschirmjager (again with crappy synthetic brushes which are starting to fishtail or hook but meh they’re so small it’s not really noticable).
